[SUGGESTION] Use sidebar theme-switching like cMenu #9

Open firinael opened 3 years ago

Hi, cMenu recently released an update which included a modal that folds out of the sidebar with its options. It is very convenient since you click it and the options are in your reach, no need to reach the top of the screen.

Maybe this could be implemented for theme-picker? Maybe use that roll up light/dark mode switching as well, into one status bar icon?

Thanks!

I like this because the modal that pops up now is still fairly large and hides a good portion of the UI – not as bad as the default settings modal though. It would be nice to have the theme picker as unobtrusive as possible.

One thing I like about the existing modal, though, is the ability to handle everything from the keyboard. If you have a lot of themes installed and start typing, it'll narrow down your search so you can quickly select the one you're looking for – nothing's stopping that from happening for a custom modal, but I think it's more work than I'm willing to do right now.

When I get the opportunity, I'll certainly look into it and see what the experience is like, though! And thanks for the suggestion!
